How many calories are in a gram of fat?

  1. 6

  2. 7

  3. 8

  4. 9

The correct answer is: 9

A gram of fat contains 9 calories, making it the most calorie-dense macronutrient compared to carbohydrates and proteins, which contain 4 calories per gram. This higher caloric value is important for understanding dietary choices and managing energy intake, especially in the context of skincare and esthetics, where body composition and nutrition can impact skin health. Knowledge of macronutrient caloric values can assist estheticians when providing advice about nutrition and lifestyle choices to clients seeking to improve their skin conditions.
